APPLICATION INFORMATION

THROUGHPUT TORQUE: 2900 FT-LBS [400 KGM]

Calculating Throughput Torque: Multiply Max engine torque by the deepest
transmission ratio.
Example: Ford Super Duty F-450
Engine = 7.3L Diesel Engine 235GHP @ 2,600 RPM 500 Ft.Lbs. @ 1,800 RPM
Transmission = ZF S6-650 6 Speed OD
1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th Rev
5.79 3.31 2.10 1.31 1.00 0.72 5.23

Through Torque = 500 Ft-Lbs X 5.79 Ratio = 2,895 Ft-Lbs

MAXIMUM PTO TORQUE: 289 FT-LBS

The SS66 PTO drive gear has a maximum rated torque of 289 Ft.Lbs. PTO
input gear loads must not exceed this value regardless of the number of PTOs
used. PTO applications are limited to intermittent application only.

SPLIT-SHAFT INSTALLATION

SPLIT-SHAFT UNIT POSITIONING

The Muncie split-shaft unit should be located between the transmission and
the rear axle, as near as possible to the transmission output flange. If possible
locate the split-shaft unit in place of the midship bearing. Elastic suspension
elements are recommended and are to be fitted between the split-shaft and the
truck chassis.
Note: The SS66 Series is not available with a driveline brake. Vehicles with a
driveline brake (parking brake) attached to the rear of the transmission will
need to have this brake moved to the rear of the splitshaft or have a parking
brake installed for use with stationary PTO applications.

and support bracket

MOUNTING THE SPLIT-SHAFT UNIT TO TRUCK FRAME

Welding to frame or cross members is not allowed. All brackets should be
fastened to the truck frame
using bolts. Existing holes
should be used. Additional
holes should only be made
with the approval of the truck
manufacturer. Mounting
components are not provided
with this unit and are the
responsibility of the installer.
Unit is to be mounted with
breather located upright as
shown in the diagram. PTO(s)
should be mounted with the
arrangement low as shown.

SPLIT-SHAFT INSTALLATION

DRIVE SHAFTS
Contact your local Driveline shop for driveshafts and driveshaft alterations.
All shafts used in the vehicle’s driveline should be the same size and quality
as the original ones. The same applies to flanges, bolts, and nuts. Self-locking
nuts should never be used twice and should be replaced by new ones.
Balance - All drive shafts should be statically and dynamically balanced.
Angles - To prevent vibration and noise during operation all drive flanges must
be parallel. Therefore it is necessary to incline the split-shaft unit and all other
driven equipment at the same angle to the truck frame as the transmission.
This angle varies with the truck model. Information should be obtained from
the truck manufacturer.
Phase - Drivelines with slip joints should be used. Make sure enough
compensation is allowed for length changes. When assembling, make sure all
U-joints are correctly phased by ensuring that index markings are correctly
aligned.
Protection - For safety reasons it is highly recommended to provide all
accessible Drivelines with protection covers.

OIL LEVEL
Split Shaft must be filled with oil up to fill level plug before use. Remove fill
plug and fill unit to this level with SAE 90 EP gearbox oil. Replace plug. Check
oil level regularly every two weeks.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION

ENGAGING THE SPLIT SHAFT PTO

1. Stop the vehicle and put the transmission in neutral.
2. Apply the parking brake and block wheels (if the unit is to operate while
the vehicle is stationary).
3. For stationary operation: Shift the main shaft air control (double acting)
to disconnect the drive to the rear axle.
4. With the engine at idle, engage the required PTO output(s) by operating
the relevant air control(s).
5. Depress the clutch pedal and select the required gear. The output shaft
speeds are dependent on the main transmission gear selection. Use
caution if placing the transmission into reverse as it may cause damage to
the driven component(s).
6. Slowly release the clutch pedal. If Split Shaft is not disengaged from
the rear axle, release parking brake to allow vehicle to be driven at
application rate.
7. For stationary operation: Set the engine speed to the required R.P.M.

DISENGAGING THE SPLIT SHAFT

1. Return the engine speed to idle.
2. Depress the clutch pedal and place the transmission in neutral.
3. Set the parking brake if vehicle has been used in mobile application.
4. Disengage the PTO output(s) by operating the relevant air control(s).
5. Shift the main air control (double acting) to re-engage the drive to the
rear axle.
6. Remove the wheel blocks, if stationary application.
7. All PTO outputs are now disengaged. The vehicle can be driven as normal.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
ENGAGING THE SPLIT SHAFT PTO
1. Stop the vehicle and put the transmission in neutral.
2. Apply the parking brake and block wheels (if the unit is to operate while
the vehicle is stationary).
3. For stationary operation: Shift the main shaft air control (double acting) to
disconnect the drive to the rear axle.
4. Engage the required PTO output(s) by operating the relevant air control(s).
5. Shift transmission into the required gear selection. Use caution if
placing the transmission into reverse as it may cause damage to the
driven component(s).

10
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
6. Stationary application: Using a method specified by the transmission
manufacturer, shift transmission into direct drive.
Mobile application: If Split Shaft is not disengaged from the rear axle,
release parking brake to allow vehicle to be driven at application rate.
7. For stationary operation: Set the engine speed to the required R.P.M.

DISENGAGING THE SPLIT SHAFT

1. Be sure vehicle is stopped and apply parking brake.
2. Shut off the engine with transmission in drive mode.
3. Set the parking brake if vehicle has been used in mobile application.
4. Disengage the PTO output(s) by operating the relevant air control(s).
5. Shift transmission into neutral.
6. Remove the wheel blocks.
7. Restart the engine.
8. Shift the main air control (double acting) to re-engage the drive to the
rear axle.
9. All PTO outputs are now disengaged. The vehicle can be driven as normal.
Failure to follow proper shifting or operating sequences will result in
premature PTO failure with possible damage to the equipment.
